Shaft Hero

About

Shaft Hero is a fast paced arcade game where you guide a tiny character through a never ending vertical maze of obstacles. The screen scrolls upward constantly forcing you to tap and swipe to dodge walls change direction and stay alive. Each run is a test of speed and precision as the difficulty ramps up with tighter spaces and faster movement. The goal is simple go as far as possible before hitting a wall or falling off the screen. The game’s minimalist design and brutal difficulty make it addictive. Players report top scores ranging from 30 seconds for newcomers to over two minutes for pros though most agree it’s tough to last even a minute. With no story or frills it’s pure reflex training wrapped in neon colors. Since launching on Android in 2015 it’s gained a cult following among fans of punishing endless runners. The lack of in app purchases or power ups keeps the focus on skill alone.
